NEXT: Look at what your discipline has written previously about Discipline specific SLOs. How do these compare to each of the general college learning outcomes above?

Art:
ART (2009-2010):

Art Program:
  • The program increases the student's range and depth of understanding and technical skill in the visual arts through guided exercises which build upon each other through a series of levels from beginning to advanced.
  • Students learn to evaluate a range of visual experiences, including the designs and concepts of others.


Architecture: The student will learn:
  • the language of the discipline
  • skilled use of tools for architecture (drafting, design, model-building, computers, etc.)
  • the history of architecture-fundamentals of building materials and methods
  • fundamentals of professional practice-fundamentals of associated engineering concepts
  • fundamentals of Green Building concepts

--- FINE ARTS and ARCHITECTURE Problem Solving and Critical Thinking SLO (from 2005) Where does this SLO fit in with the general ones?
  • Students will develop their visual aesthetic awareness and their technical abilities in the history and practice of art, architecture, and interior design by learning to evaluate a range of visual experiences , including the designs and concepts of others.
  • increasing their depth of understanding and technical skill through guided exercises which build upon each other.


Think about how these programmatic SLOs relate to the College Learning Outcomes above. Feel free to edit, expand or change them. Try to make a program SLO for each College Learning Outcome with scores of 3 or higher on the matrix.
